Director: Victor Saville | Stars: Van Heflin, Lana Turner, Donna Reed, Richard Hart
Votes: 1,806
Plenty of weird things in this expensive trainwreck. Not since John Sayles has there been a romantic lead like Richard Hart. Not since the Michael Jackson/Lisa Marie kiss has there been a kiss as creepy as Richard Hart/Lana Turner. But the real reason I'm listing this turgid dung heap is for its earthquake sequence. It's worth the price of admission.

Director: John Huston | Stars: Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, Deborah Kerr, Sue Lyon

It's 2:13 in the morning. Nothing weird about that. I'm watching TCM. Certainly, nothing weird about that. I'm watching a movie for the 12th time. And there's nothing weird about that. What is weird is that I hadn't included this oddball John Huston/Tennessee Williams' adaption. Years ahead of its time as was Beat the Devil. OMG

Director: Richard Shepard | Stars: Pierce Brosnan, Greg Kinnear, Hope Davis, Arlin Miller
Votes: 46,405 | Gross: $12.59M
Another one that's weird that I hadn't listed it before. Pierce Brosnan is absolutely brilliant but there's nothing weird about that. It is a f-ing weird movie, though.

Directors: Leo McCarey, David W. Orton | Stars: William Holden, Clifton Webb, France Nuyen, Athene Seyler
Votes: 862
This is a movie Hollywood should be ashamed of. Appallingly bad writing, acting, direction, casting, stereotypes and sediments. Movie leaves a very weird taste in your mouth. Just a grotesque train wreck but just try and look away. It even has terrible blue-screening.
42. 7 Women (1965)
Passed | 87 min | Drama

Votes: 2,665
Well, to begin with Mike Mazurki and Woody Strode plays a Mongolian warlords!!!! Margaret Leighton as a the pompous Mother superior yearning for Sue Lyon's loins. It's all in very bad taste and makes for very weird viewing. And oh, that ending.
43. The Fugitive Kind (1960)
Not Rated | 119 min | Drama, Romance
Valentine "Snakeskin" Xavier, a trouble-prone drifter trying to go straight, wanders into a small Mississippi town looking for a simple and honest life but finds himself embroiled with problem-filled women.
Director: Sidney Lumet | Stars: Marlon Brando, Joanne Woodward, Anna Magnani, Maureen Stapleton
Votes: 7,149
Weird for many reasons. A Sidney Lumet misfire to start with. Absurd casting of Anna Magnani as Lady. Victor Jory, with one twentieth the screen time, stealing the movie from Brando. And last but not least, that it took all this time for me to list it.
44. God's Little Acre (1958)
GP | 118 min | Comedy, Drama, Romance

Votes: 18,985 | Gross: $9.09M
The list is so old that sometimes I wake up in a weird sweat wondering if I included this one or that one and sure enough I didn't. Richard E Grant (Posh Nosh) is the hero in this little gem and that's what you call weird casting.
48. Nightcrawler (2014)

When Louis Bloom, a con man desperate for work, muscles into the world of L.A. crime journalism, he blurs the line between observer and participant to become the star of his own story.
Director: Dan Gilroy | Stars: Jake Gyllenhaal, Rene Russo, Bill Paxton, Riz Ahmed
Votes: 604,822 | Gross: $32.38M
There's nothing weird about Jake Gyllenhaal being snubbed by the Academy for a Oscar winning worthy performance of a deathly determined sociopath . At least DeNiro was nominated for Taxi Driver. This was a snub.

Votes: 24,819 | Gross: $0.06M
I just realized I forgot to list this twisted weirdness I saw 37 years ago and it's fresh-as-a-daisy in my psyche. With this one Luis wanted you to know he wasn't just an avid misanthrope but a world-class misogynist, in particular.

Director: Luis Buñuel | Stars: Silvia Pinal, Jacqueline Andere, Enrique Rambal, José Baviera
Votes: 35,555
I'm glad I waited 45 years or more to see this weirdness from the Spanish Misanthrope Luis Bunuel. I wouldn't have "gotten it". I should have waited another 15 years for Simon of the Desert.
53. The We and the I (2012)

Director: Douglas McGrath | Stars: Toby Jones, Daniel Craig, Sandra Bullock, Sigourney Weaver
Votes: 18,223 | Gross: $1.15M
First, it's a strange feeling to have respect for Daniel Craig and second it's weird that PSH got an Oscar for a performance that doesn't hold a candle to this rendition by Toby Jones.

Director: Millard Kaufman | Stars: Ben Gazzara, Stuart Whitman, Ray Walston, Vincent Price
Votes: 546
Childhood favorite. It had Ray Walston and Sammy Davis Jr. and as a kid ten years old that was all I needed. It's weird to look back on it now. The Leonard Rosenman jazzed-out, downbeat score, the many cameos, one absolutely outtasight long dolly shot of Stuart Whitman and Broderick Crawford showing how it's done, Millard Kaufman's shmaltzy direction in his only directorial effort, the few innuendos they could get away with in 1962 and a patented Ben "I'm so conflicted" Gazzara turn made this stroll a nostalgic albeit weird one. Incidentally, I was curious to see who played Paradise but that will have to remain a mystery.
58. Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
PG-13 | 113 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi

Director: Louis Malle | Stars: Pierre Blaise, Aurore Clément, Holger Löwenadler, Therese Giehse
Votes: 7,714
These are here to warn you that nasty things happen to animals in these weird flicks. But I'm happy to say that befittingly not too long after this movie was made Pierre suffered about the same fate as the chicken whose head he knocked off. Louis' comeuppance was to be married to Candice Bergen. His punishment was much longer.
61. Black Moon (1975)
R | 100 min | Fantasy, Horror, Mystery

Votes: 1,097
Unbelievable. Dean Martin is governor (I don't know how it happened) after marrying good-time girl Susan Hayward, baggage and all, weeks before the election. If that's not enough then maybe a malevolent Wilfred Hyde-White pulling-the-strings on the befuddled Dino might do it. But then Ada grows some nuts. Unbelievable.

The majority of movies on this list are decent films of generally high quality. This is not one. This train wreck was a revelation to me. I just saw it for the first time and it had me from the word go. There are too many questions to ask. Are you looking for something weird to watch? Your prayers were answered in 1948.

Director: Vicente Aranda | Stars: Simón Andreu, Maribel Martín, Alexandra Bastedo, Dean Selmier
Votes: 2,375
Warning: Heck of a movie but it does contain a very objectionable scene of the actual shooting of a fox. The late sixties/early seventies penchant for pairing strong sexuality and actual cruelty to animals is the point at which I say artistic freedoms have gone to far and endangers the future of those very freedoms. Am I being naive? Maybe. Cabela sponsors dozens of "killing" shows that are shot into millions of homes everyday. I'm reminded of Vernacchio's play in Satyricon.
